Butterfly Barrettes

Since our air conditioner wasn't working yesterday, we headed up to my Mother-in-law's cool house with some craft supplies. We made these cute butterfly barrettes. This afternoon, I went to Michaels for some more pipe cleaners, (I found out today, the proper name is "Chenille Stems!) so I'm still finishing up some tonight. I'll take another picture to share with you.

While Grace and I were cutting out fabric, my M-I-L's neighbors, Theresa and Katherine stopped by and made a pair for themselves. We had lots of fun visiting and coming up with different ways to use them.

Hi Kelli,Thank you for all of the wonderful comments you've been leaving in Merryville lately. I really like the look of your site. Very welcoming!This is such a charming project. I'm going to show it to my niece. I think it is something she will really enjoy doing with her little girls. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

Welcome! My name is Kelli and I am originally from Ontario, Canada but now enjoy living in Texas with my three teenagers. Grace is 18, Emily is 17, and Benjamin is 15.
I'm a work-at-home mom and in my spare time I love to decorate, antique store treasure hunt, bake, and celebrate the four seasons.
Please join me as I share photos and stories, along with some recipes and favorite things thrown in for good measure!
